Why do some melodies feel instantly right, balanced, memorable and satisfying, even if you have never heard them before? New research from the University of Waterloo suggests that more than creativity ...

Henry Yuen is developing a new mathematical language to describe problems whose inputs and outputs aren’t ordinary numbers.

Scientists successfully borrow concepts from string theory to explain the network architecture of branching biological systems like neurons ...

That's the premise of the invisible string theory. The belief that unseen emotional ties exist across distance and time. It walks away from reality and runs towards a perspective that offers romantics ...

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells.

Why do jewellery chains put in a box together become so tightly knotted on themselves, and each other, that it is impossible to unknot them? (continued) Having been in the jewellery business for over ...

Biological systems are notoriously tough to model, especially when it comes to figuring out the axons, neurons, blood vessels, and other structural components of gray matter, or the tissue that makes ...

Why does string theory matter so much? 😳 Physicist Michio Kaku explains how this bold idea could unify the laws of physics, reshape our understanding of reality, and change how we see the universe.

Blood vessels, neurons, and tree branches often form junctions that look irregular, yet they follow a shared geometric rule. Using three-dimensional scans from six kinds of organisms, researchers in ...

Natural physical networks are continuous, three-dimensional objects, like the small mathematical model displayed here. Researchers have found that physical networks in living systems follow rules ...
